The effects of fluorides and/or trace elements on the solubilities of enamel and cementum.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of fluorides and trace elements applied alone or in combination at different concentrations on the solubilities of enamel and cementum surfaces of the same teeth. The study has been performed on enamel and cementum surfaces of the impacted third molars extracted by surgical operation. Aqueous solutions of sodium fluoride, aluminum potassium phosphate, strontium chloride and titanium tetrachloride at different concentrations were applied to the surfaces. The solubilities of enamel and cementum and the depth of etchings have been calculated by means of the inorganic phosphorus in these etching solutions. According to the results, higher concentrations of fluoride and lower concentrations of strontium and titanium led to a significant reduction into solubilities of enamel and cementum. As certain combined applications of fluorides and trace elements decreased both of the enamel and cementum solubilities, it may be assumed that if such a treatment is beneficial during the adolescence of an individual, it may also be used when he is older.[1]
